†Onychodus sigmoides. Procreate for iPad. May 12, 2022 (revised June 08, 2023)
A basal sarcopterygian (†Onychodus sigmoides) in a shallow coral-crinoid-dominated reef of what is today Syracuse, New York during the Eifelian Stage of the Middle Devonian Period. This reconstruction is based on comparative anatomical and taphonomic studies of the parasymphysial teeth of two species of †Onychodus and associated fish and invertebrate fossils from the Onondaga-Union Springs contact exposed at the Hanson Jamesville Quarry (Jamesville, New York).

†Agoniatites vanuxemi. Oil on white canvas. June 09, 2023
A convolute †ammonoid mollusc (†Agoniatites vanuxemi) in the open water column of the Appalachian Basin of what is now western and central New York State during the Middle Devonian Period (393 to 383 million years ago). This reconstruction is based on fossils collected from Hamilton Group outcrops near Ithaca and uniformitarian assumptions of shared soft-tissue homologies with extant coleoid cephalopods. The paleontological and phylogenetic evidence interprets †Agoniatites vanuxemi as a relatively large and fast-moving nektonic carnivore with well-developed vision.
